Parvalbumin cell numbers in CamKIIa-Cre XRCC1 KO mice. The pictures show representative sections of female control and XRCC1 KO animals stained with anti-parvalbumin antibody in A amygdala, B dorsal hippocampus and C ventral hippocampus. The bar plots depict the number of parvalbumin-positive (PV+) cells per mm² in A the amygdala (Amy), B the dorsal and C ventral DG, CA1 and CA3 (dDG, dCA1, dCA3 and vDG, vCA1, vCA3, respectively) of XRCC1-KO and control mice. N = 5 Con and 5 KO males, 5 Con and 5 KO females. Shown are all individual values, means ± SEM. **p<0.01 based on independent Student’s two-tailed t-test
